I haven't blogged in almost two years. Let's just say that film school has been extremely time consuming. Whoever said that getting an MFA in Filmmaking is easy was ill informed!
As some of you may be aware, I should be wrapping on my thesis and preparing to graduate in September, but I elected to stay in school for an extra semester and shoot a feature film as my thesis. The choice to go the Feature route seemed like a no brainer to me at the time; I knew I wanted to shoot a feature film eventually, so why not do it when I could still utilize my school's resources as well as the support from the teachers. Needless to say, everyday since I announced I would be doing "Thesis Option B: Feature Track", the work load has continued to grow. This is not like Pre-Production for a short film. I'm not even in Pre-Production yet! I've been developing this movie since this time last year, and I'm still only in the Development phase.
I'm currently working on the fourth draft of my script. I plan to have this draft finished by Friday. Collectible Items is a thriller that I came up with while I produced a film for my friend Jacob. I wrote the first script and was surprised by how easily it flowed. I had my first table read on May 14 and received amazing feedback. I'm overwhelmed with excitement and nervousness all at the same time. I just need to keep focused and keep trucking along. I'll look to this blog as relief when I get stuck in my script or I just need a break. Stay tuned! Collectible Items goes into Production in November. You don't want to miss it!
